Purdue Honors

Football Team

LAFAYETTE, Nov. 25—(U. P.).— Elmer Burnham, Purdue’s head football coach, managed to keep his smile last night at the Purdue football banquet despite a season of defeats with a lone victory over Northwestern. Burnham said, “There is no reason for me to smile, of course. I am not, satisfied. We'll do better next season, if there is college football.” Athletic Director Guy (Red) Mackey said, “As long as I have anything to say about it, Elmer Burnham will be the coach of our next Pyrdue football team, whenever that it.” Both men agreed that building character is a much more difficult task while losing than while directing a winning team. Mackey said that Purdue would re-emphasize football instead of de-emphasize

valuable material was lost to .the armed forces. But he added “That's the way Purdue wants to lose football players, That's what we're training our boys for.” William Buffington, Peru senior, who was honored by being named honorary captain for last season, also was named the “most valuable player” on the squad. ‘ Thirty-one major and 11 minor squad members at the dinner. Eighteen “B’ team awards and 42 freshman numerals also were given.

Lou Rymkus and Wally Ziemba—to team in three decades placed Billy Hillenbrand, Pete Pihos and Ed Bell. Dick Barwegen of Purdue also gained top mention. Hillenbrand captured the title of “most. outstanding player in the state.” The sparkling halfback not only scored five touchdowns and passed for nine others, but also knitted the team together with his field generalship, his teamwork, his defensive tackling and running back punts. In a conference studded with backfield stars, two players from Indiana’s lesser circuit gained back positions. They were little Eddie McGovern of Rose Poly, who led the nation in individual scoring with 165 points, and Capt. Pete Varini of defending champion St. Joseph's, who scored 78 points for the runner-up position in state scoring and led his Pumas to a tie for the conference crown,

Second Team Honors

Bertelli mainstayed the Irish attack, while Bob Dove, all-American last year, played his usual brilliant game. Ziemba was hampered by an injury, but his outstanding performance after returning to the lineup made him top choice for center position. Wabash and DePauw came in for a portion of second team honors, which was largely dominated by Indiana and Notre Dame. Purdue placed one man on the second team but took eight honorable mention places. Injuries that forced Boilermaker stars to the sidelines frequently this year cut down on Purdue’s number of places on the teams. Honorable mention: Backs—MecKinnis, Indiana; White, Indiana; Rhoda, Ball State; Ellsperman, St. Joseph’s; Smock, Purdue; Andretich, Purdue; Dewar, Indiana; Saunders, Ball State; F. Hillenbrand, Rose Poly. Linemen—Leugo, Purdue; Huff, Indiana; Ruggieri, Purdue; Warren, Purdue; O'Bryan, Purdue; McCafifry, Purdue; Smerke, Purdue.

Red Wings Tie Canadiens, 4-4

By UNITED PRESS

Detroit and Chicago climbed into a two-way, deadlock for first place in the National Hockey league Tuesday night by tying with the Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins, respectively. Detroit built up a four-goal lead over the Canadiens at Montreal, Carl Liscombe’s marker at 1:16 of the fourth apparently sewing it up. But the Canadiens cut loose for three goals in five minutes — Toe Blake, Joe Benoit and Ray Getliffe tallying—and tied it up at 16:30 when Gordon Drillon shoved a score

DETROIT, Nov. 25 (U.

His home is in Stockport, Iowa. The other recruit is Harvey W. “Hub” Walker, 36, an outfielder, who finished the season with Minneapolis.

It is said that the fact that Joe Bestudik now is with the armed forces will not prevent the original Indian-apolis-Brooklyn transaction from being completed. . Dahlgren bats righthanded and throws with’ his right. McCarthy, his predecessor here, bats left and throws left.

Dahlgren played with several big league clubs and also in the International league. He is rated a better than fair class AA player and is 31 years old. The Indians are lucky to get a first sacker of his caliber, as there are not many seasoned players on the market and available in wartime. He is 6 feet tall and weighs 190 pounds. Brooklyn bought Dahlgren from the Chicago Cubs last season to understudy Dolph Camilli. He also played for the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox and Boston Braves

Paul Brown as’

By LEO H. United Press

Brown of Ohio State. His team won the title in the toughest football circuit in the land Saturday when it whipped Michigan and today out in the midwest they are booming him as the coach of the year. It is a pretty far cry from the skinny guy who left Ohio State campus for Miami university at Oxford, O., after he wasn’t given a chance to show his ability when he went out for freshman football because he was “too small.”

Went to Massillon

In 1932 he went to Massillon as coach of the high school football team there. He inherited a losing, dispirited team, a run-down athletic plant, and an athletic deficit of $37,000. But it didn’t take him long to overcome those handicaps. In nine seasons his teams won 81 games while losing six and tieing two. A modern stadium was constructed and before he left the high school was outdrawing every college team in Ohio, except Qhio State. In 1940, his final year, Massillon played to 180,000 fans in 10 games. When Francis A. Schmidt “resigned” after the disastrous 1940 season, the Ohio High School Football Coaches’ association began a Brown, boom. They held meetings all over the state, each one wrote to L. W. St. John, athletic director, advocating Brown’s appointment and promising that if Brown were given the position they would do everything they could to send him their outstanding players. It worked and the high school coaches have made good on their promise. They now form a sort of recruiting system for Brown and Ohio State.

Success at Start Brown's, first season was a successful one, his team winning six games, losing one and tieing one. Graduation riddled that team. The squad which reported this season was regarded as sub-par and the Buckeyes were ranged as possible fourth place finishers. But Brown went to work with his system, his squad. knew what he demanded and he was ready to provide it. Play football they did. They were upset by Wisconsin, but they defeated Ft. Knox, Indiana, Southern California, Purdue, Northwestern, Pittsburgh, Illinois and Michigan and have the Iowa Seahawks left to go.

Longson Twists Lewis’ Knee

Ed (Strangler) Lewis sustained a twisted knee at the climax of the second fall of his match with “Wild Bill” Longson last night at the Armory and the former five-time heavyweight champion was unable to return to the ring for ‘the decid-

first two sessions. \ A capacity crowd hooted and howled as Lewis was assisted from the ring after Longson had applied a legbreaker hold and was slow in letting loose. Lewis signified to referee Sergt. Chris Zaharias that he had had “enough.” Lewis took the first fall in 10 minutes with & headlock and Longson squared the match in 14 minutes. Roland Kirschmeyer won over Babe Zaharias in the semi-windup with a flying body’ scissors in 11 minutes. The opener was won by Clete Kauffman, Columbus, O., who downed Frank Burman, St. Louis, with a body scissors. It was announced that Yvon Roberts, French-Canadian star who recently was recognized as heavye= weight champion by the National Wrestling association to succeed Longson, would appear here in as title clash next week.
